Further reports stated that the fire had grown significantly in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emergency personnel arrived on scene to find a one-story structure fully involved in a fire. There were significant exposure concerns with occupied homes in close proximity to the fire building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">22 firefighters from Berlin worked for 2.5 hours to extinguish and overhaul the fire, Chief Jonn Massirio said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire building was unoccupied at the time and is primarily used as an office. There were no injuries reported and no residents were displaced. The building is a total loss and is scheduled to be demolished.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berlin\u2019s Fire Marshals Office responded and is handling the investigation. A lightning strike during the overnight storms is being considered as a possible cause.<\/p>\n<p>WTIC-TV FOX 61 Hartford<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A night fire in Berlin resulted in damage so severe that the building is scheduled to be demolished.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[112,4961,190,69365],"class_list":["post-145501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-berlin","tag-connecticut","tag-germany","tag-new-england-region"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/117090992238733103","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
